Introduction to DEVIUM Stack Hacks

Welcome to DEVIUM Stack Hacks, the highly experimental region of the DEVIUM Stack docs. DEVIUM Stack Hacks are an unofficial guide for messing around with the DEVIUM Stack. Here you'll find information about ways that the DEVIUM Stack can be modified in interesting ways.

DEVIUM Stack Hacks create blockchains that aren't exactly DEVIUM Stack, and may be insecure. Hacked DEVIUM Stack chains can break key invariants that are required to interoperate with the DEVIUM Chain Superchain. Developers of chains that wish to interoperate with the DEVIUM Chain Superchain should not include any hacks. When in doubt, stick with the official components within the current release of the DEVIUM Stack.
